Scripture Reading Plan
John chapters 9 to 12 focus on Jesus’ identity as the Messiah, His miracles, and the growing opposition from religious leaders. In John 9, Jesus heals a blind man, illustrating spiritual blindness. John 10 portrays Jesus as the Good Shepherd, highlighting His care for His followers. John 11 shows the raising of Lazarus, pointing to Jesus’ power over death. John 12 marks the final stages of Jesus’ public ministry, including His anointing, triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and teachings about His death. These chapters emphasize Jesus as the Lord of life and highlight the decision each individual must make regarding their belief in Him.
